Social Scum (1)

“Um… are you perhaps his daughter?”

“Oh, I’m so sorry. I told her to stay outside… I’m taking my daughter somewhere after this contract is done.”

I apologized politely.

Of course, I was secretly cheering inside.

He looked at Sujeong with a rather troubled expression.

“Sujeong, you can’t come in here. We’re talking about grown-up stuff.”

“Hmph! Sujeong likes being next to Daddy! And that mister doesn’t look scary. If he were a scary mister, I would have run away.”

“Cough! Hehehe!”

Accurate.

Director Oh Deok-su’s face lit up at Sujeong’s flattery(?). He looked like his heart had been directly targeted.

Hehehe, this is like eating rice cake lying down [an idiom meaning something is very easy], isn’t it?

I adjusted my posture and asked.

“I’m sorry. I’ll send my daughter out right away…”

“No, no. Your daughter is very cute. I’m really envious. I only have three sons. I’ve been trying so hard to have a daughter as the youngest even at this age… but it’s not easy. You have no idea how much I searched the internet to find a way to have a daughter.”

This guy, he’s opened up.

He was so arrogant and picky just a moment ago, but ever since Sujeong appeared, he’s been rambling a bit, looking like he’s lost it.

Is Sujeong really that lethal?

He has three sons, and when Sujeong, who looks like a doll, shot his heart with her charm, that cold-blooded man turned into melted ice cream.

Sujeong began to poke around the office.

“Mister, can I eat this?”

“Huh? Of course. You can eat as much as you want.”

“Wow! Awesome! Mister, you’re the best!”

“What? Hahahaha!”

I succeeded in completely winning him over.

I was finally able to get to the main point.

“Then, about the contract…”

“Let’s see. To write the contract, we need to agree on the total amount first. We’re thinking 12 million won per building.”

“Oh, really?”

“Well, there’s room for negotiation here.”

“Then, how about 13 million won…”

Did he definitely say ‘per building’ a moment ago?

Oh Deok-su continued with a smile on his face.

“Then, let’s make it 40 million won for cleaning all three buildings. The contract fee is 10%. How about that?”

“Thank you!”

“I’ve decided that parents who raise such a daughter can’t be bad people. By the way, can you tell me the secret to having a daughter?”

Oh Deok-su didn’t seem interested in the contract at all.

I ended up spending almost 30 minutes there talking about the secrets to having two daughters.

But is there really a secret to having a daughter?

There’s no such thing. It’s just luck.

I left the company with Sujeong.

Both Sujeong and I were sweating bullets.

More than anything, Sujeong looked very tired.

“Ugh, I thought I was going to die because of that smelly old man.”

“You worked hard, Sujeong. But aren’t I a smelly old man too?”

“Hehe, Daddy’s a bit different. You smell good.”

“Good smell?”

“Yeah!”

I sniffed my body. What kind of smell is she talking about?

Anyway, I hit the jackpot today.

I got 40 million won from one order. I’m going to clean all three high-rise buildings managed by Moa Construction.

I looked at the contract.

The feeling of roughly scribbling it was evident, and the contract stated that the total cleaning fee was 40 million won and the contract fee was 4 million won. Moreover, the deposit date for the contract fee was today, and I would receive 10 million won as an interim payment after finishing one building.

“This is all your credit.”

“Then, are you going to buy me snacks?”

“Am I just going to buy you snacks? I have to give Sujeong whatever she wants!”

“Hehe, then just buy me a law book.”

“…Law book?”

What is this about?

Why a law book all of a sudden?

As I made a dumbfounded expression, Sujeong shrugged her shoulders and said.

“There’s a limit to looking up laws online. If Daddy wants to do business in the future, you have to know the law well, right? So, I thought it would be helpful to memorize the law book.”

“Hehe. Hehehehe.”

My daughter is definitely a genius.

If Sujeong is asking to buy a law book, it’s like declaring that she’s going to memorize the whole thing.

“Used ones are okay too. I can refer to the revised ordinances if necessary.”

“Okay! I’ll buy it as soon as the contract fee comes in.”

“Hehe, Daddy’s the best!”

Sujeong finally hugged me.

She dug into me and sniffed me.

“I feel like my nose is purified now! I thought my nose was going to rot a while ago.”

“I wish the contract fee would come in on the way. Mom’s clothes are too old, right? Come to think of it, Sua’s clothes too… and Sujeong’s shoes are old too.”

“Daddy, don’t worry too much. That feeling alone is enough.”

“But your clothes are old, aren’t they?”

“That’s true.”

I held Sujeong in one hand and confidently walked down the street.

Today’s contract was as good as Sujeong getting it. It was something that had to be kept absolutely secret from my wife.

I’m happily going home.

While taking the subway, my phone rang and I saw that 4 million won had been deposited into Sujeong’s account. I can’t use my account yet, so I used Sujeong’s account, but that guy was so distracted by the daughter story that he didn’t check properly. Well, it wouldn’t have mattered much even if he knew.

I stopped by the bank to make a Sujeong card and bought gifts with both hands.

I ended up spending well over 100,000 won while buying them, and I saw myself trembling at even 10,000 won because I had lived without much.

It’s truly pathetic.

“We have to do an experiment tonight. Right?”

Sujeong looked up at me with sparkling eyes.

Do I have to reduce my sleep again and practice at the same time? If this is the path of a black magician, there’s nothing I can do.

“Yeah. We have to go up to the graveyard again. I won’t wake you up if you’re sleeping?”

“Hmph. Is Daddy going to wake up first?”

Sujeong looked up at me with suspicious eyes.

I have to do that much as a dad, right?

About 50 meters away from the house.

A thunderous voice echoes from the mountainside.

“Where did my husband go!? Huh? If you don’t want to be sold to an island [a threat implying forced labor or exploitation], tell me quickly!”

Smash!

“……!”

Isn’t that the sound coming from the house?

Our house is on the mountainside even in the shantytown. It’s the only house standing alone in a place where building permits are not even issued now.

If the voice is coming from the mountainside, it must be our house.

“Could it be!?”

Did the loan sharks I’ve only heard about come to my house?

I ran up to the house in one breath.

“Huff! Huff!”

I was out of breath.

But an unbelievable thing happened. I felt my stamina being replenished somewhere as I ran out of breath. My steps became lighter and I was able to run up to the house in one breath.

When I arrived at the house, the crock [a traditional Korean earthenware pot] and household items were scattered everywhere.

They didn’t destroy the house, but some household items were broken and scattered. Moreover, Sua was crying in surprise, and my wife was busy comforting her.

Could there be a family here who is sane?

“You fucking bastards! What are you doing causing trouble!?”

“Oh, the husband has finally arrived? How are you doing, debtor…”

Pow!

I threw my body as it was.

My body floated and I was able to accurately plant my fist in the loan shark’s face.

I felt a shock that made my hand tingle.

“Cough!”

The guy flew away and crashed near the crock.

“Huh?”

To be honest, I was surprised after doing it.

Was I this strong?

While I was trying to figure out the situation, a fist flew from somewhere.

Pow!

“Argh!”

“Honey!”

I rolled on the floor as it was.

The loan shark who came today is not alone. It seemed like two people were working as a team, and the older of the two men punched me in the face.

I couldn’t even avoid the fist that felt professional.

“Hey, debtor. Did you play around somewhere? The way you use your fists, you don’t seem like an ordinary person?”

“Ughhh.”

I raised my hand to stop my wife from approaching. Because it didn’t seem like it would end well like this.

The young man who crashed into the crock approached, panting, and threw a few knee kicks.

Thud thud!

“Ugh!”

“Pay back the money. We are very kind, but we are grim reapers to malicious debtors. Do you think we’re digging up dirt to do business?”

“Ugh, damn it. I’ll pay it back. Why are you coming to my house and causing trouble?”

“If you pay the money on time, this wouldn’t happen, right? Then why don’t you pay the money, you bastard.”

Thud thud thud!

I got hit a few more times.

Sujeong is visible at the door. Seeing her eyes turn so cold, it looks like she’s about to bury them right away. I shook my head.

Murder is not allowed.

Sujeong’s eyes are burning!

I shook my head again, saying absolutely not. Then Sujeong had a face as if she had made some kind of decision.

The loan sharks spat on the floor and said.

“One week.”

“Honey! Are you okay?”

Lisa worries about me first. She must have been quite surprised when the loan sharks came and made a mess.

I dusted myself off and got up.

“I’m okay.”

“Daddy!”

Sujeong runs over, sobbing.

Then she grabs me and cries out loud.

“Wah! They hit our daddy! Bad guys!”

“Daddy’s okay, so don’t cry.”

“Bad guys. I won’t let them get away with this.”

I’m sweating cold for no reason. The level that Sujeong won’t let them get away with it sounds like she has no intention of just letting it go.

If I’m not calm here, the whole family will be shaken. I have to show a dignified appearance at times like this.

Anyway, I’m the head of this household.

“I can pay back the money. I got a contract today. So, this won’t happen again in the future.”

“Honey… are you okay where you’re hurt?”

“This is nothing. Hahaha!”

Of course, it hurts.

But it doesn’t seem like my face is swelling as much as I thought. Did my durability get stronger as I learned black magic?

I smiled and organized the household items in the house.

Lisa also put the child down and started organizing. Sujeong also helped with her little hands.

Those guys harmed my family.

I was smiling, but inside, even the murderous intent that I didn’t have was rising.

They turned our house into a mess, did they?

Then I have to pay them back as much as I suffered… no, three times as much.
